Possible Anoxic Brain Injury
hello, my dad suffered a cardiac arrest which he was down for ~25 min before they brought him back. I know there is possible ABI and he was put on a ventilator and medically induced coma. He has been off sedation since 6:15am (April 12, 2024) and opening his eyes. There is some tracking and he does look

I'm a month out of hospital (after a total stay of 8 months). I was discharged with a CPAP machine for OSA and prescribed 1l of oxygen at night whilst in the

Looking for feedback regarding Asymptomatic Afib
I'm fairly new to this forum and I already feel at home. It's very refreshing to find an online community whose members are so kind, understanding and generous. By way of introduction, I'm a 69-year-old male living in Connecticut. My Afib history is as follows: Diagnosed with Afib by PCP - 8/9/

Getting No Help and feeling desperate
I have severe restless legs and am going around in circles with my doctor and neurologist. Being waiting months for a CPAP machine but now my doctor wants me to do another sleep study. I have been using kratom for years but now it's not really working for me and am close to packing it all in. I live

Settling in on HHD, the good, bad and ugly….
It has been a while since I have posted about my journey with HHD. It has been five months. Big difference from when I started. A week ago, Friday was our first time totally alone. Up to this point, I had a med tech who was coming to make sure I cannulated ok and got on. She had stopped cannulating me

Benefits of yoga 🙏
Does anyone else do yoga and have information or experience on it reducing portal hypertension ? I have been doing yoga more often, and it is great from a stress reducing and muscle toning perspective, I came across a research article about how yoga decreases the sympathetic and increases the parasympathetic

Wedding coming up. LCHF advice?
Morning all. I have one of my niece's weddings coming up mid September, below are the menu choices. I have chosen menu 1 as it looks overall less dangerous for an LCHF diet. I am happy to "donate" my dessert to one of my massively tall nephews 😂 and not eat any potatoes/bread that might go alongside

Restless sleep
My husband was diagnosed with PSP in 2020. His sleep has become more restless lately kicking his legs, throwing his arms up and removing sheets and duvet then asking me to cover him up. He wears a CPAP mask but cannot always tolerate wearing it so pulls it off, something he would never do. All of this

Severe OSA
morning all, on top of everything else I have now been diagnosed with severe OSA, which apparently is a contributing factor to AF! I am due for a CPAP machine on 12th April, it scares me when I go to sleep, has anyone else experienced this, good to hear your thoughts

CPAP first time user - your experience please, 4G etc
I picked up a Resmed CPAP machine with a nasal only mask yesterday from our local Guildford (Surrey) NHS hospital to hopefully remove my mild sleep apnoea and stop me waking around 3 times every night. Any comments on member's experience would be appreciated. In particular before I start, do members

How low can you go ? Blood pressure GP policy and general guidance
Hi I have had high blood pressure for over 20 years. At some point in my late 20s (I am now 51), a GP decided I met the criteria for high blood pressure and prescribed medication. For most of the next 20 years I had an annual or semi annual check at the surgery and a blood test every year. They would

insomnia 10 hours in 4 days
hi everyone. I have Mytonia Congenita and a lot of over conditions, arthritis etc. One of those is sleep apnea, which I wear a CPAP machine for. However the past 6 months I’ve had horrific insomnia! I’m talking it’s so bad I’m getting about 4 hours in every 24! I honestly don’t know what to do anymore
